Bosnia and Herzegovina judicial reforms

Entities: Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina · Tuzla Canton Prosecutor's Office · Fuad Kačapor · State Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina · Goražde

Overview

In late July 2026, Bosnia and Herzegovina’s legal system was the focus of two related developments. An amendment was introduced to locate the Appellate Division of the country's highest court in Goražde, citing the city’s wartime suffering, while procedural delays continued to affect a long‑standing municipal boundary case in Sarajevo.

Within days, the judiciary reported a significant uptick in case handling. The Tuzla Canton Prosecutor’s Office resolved substantially more cases than it received, and the number of old cases closed more than doubled. This performance improvement coincided with an additional budget allocation of several million convertible marks for the High Judicial and Prosecutorial Council, the State Court, and the national Prosecutor’s Office, aimed at higher salaries, staffing, and operational costs.
